Kim came through the surgery well this afternoon. Tim and Kim will talk to the surgeon in the morning to get a full report. Her left breast was removed and a tissue sample from one of her lymph nodes will be examined and they will receive a pathology report in a couple of weeks. Apparently this is the best result for now. The surgeon told them if she noticed a hardness and suspicious nature in the lymph node area, she would go ahead right away and remove all the lymph nodes, but that wasn't done, so we're encouraged. If there is ultimately some cancer in the lymph node or nodes, they will operate again and remove them.
Thanks for your love and prayers. We'll keep you posted.
Now I need to get packed to head for CA in the morning!! My brother Jim is meeting me at the LA airport and I'll be in the Arcadia area for two days--spending time with Jim and Kim and also attending my high school class of '66 45th year reunion!!!! Then on Sunday Jim and I will drive out to Palm Springs and I'll spend a week with Mom and Dad. It will be so good to see them. I haven't seen them since mid-March.
It will be wonderful to see Jim too. He's recovering right now from his 6 week chemo and radiation "assault" and will have surgery on Nov. 15.
Bob's doing amazingly well and actually has a rest from chemo this week. I think that he just may enjoy some solitude, although we're both sure that we'll miss one another quite a lot since we've been together almost 24/7 for the past few months.
We continue to trust the Lord for healing for Bob, Jim, and Kim. This morning Bob and I read Psalm 20 and pondered the meaning of verse 7, which says, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God."
We paraphrased it in this way--"Some trust in surgeons, oncologists, and chemo, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God!"
Although we USE the medical professionals and treatments, just as King David used horses and chariots in battle, our ultimate TRUST is in the LORD!
